Doubt it all you want, but it is true. I am putting down ~600hp and 1200lb-ft of torque to the wheels. 4wd launches and a very good driver can get it around 12.5s. By around I mean + or - a tenth or two. The high 12s low 13s was with the 3rd from highest tune.

Oh yeah, I spent $900 on the mods to get it to where it is today so in your little drop-top Miata

Vettes are very hard to hook up correctly off of the line. 4wd boosted launch...not so much. Not saying I can always beat one, but the fact that I can makes my testis 4lbs heavier

I still don't know much about those cars. Have sat in one, and didn't comfortably fit(5'11-185). Didn't have room to move my feet around under the dash either. The back seat looked like one in a Porsche

You can put a fricking rocket launcher on the F250 and you wont sniff a stock Corvette. Sorry

WOW. I own a Ford dealership and have driven and owned at least 25 vettes over the years.

Yeah, he was talking about getting one down into the 11s. From everything I read the trans is the weak link in going faster. The front end lightness is primarily a problem on the 1/2 ton gassers (ask me how I know ), the weight helps a lot w/ diesels.

No doubt you've added some, but you ought to get a good dyno. Unless you've seen the #'s even 275 sounds kinda high, given what you have done.
